I'll be moving to Melbourne, Australia on 09/01/2009 and I'd like to know if there are some 'not so bad' places to go; Some guy into punk/ hard rock told me about some places but I need some point of views concerning that.
Any record store/ second hand shops?
As I am busy, I don't spend many time on the forum.

I haven't been to Melbourne in a few years.. But apart from what the others have said.. Peril is the place to get some good obscure death industrial/dark ambience..They sell some metal as well as a bunch of bootleg videos/dvds..some obscure snuff type stuff under the counter and have a bunch of clothes. They also have a tattoo/body peircing room i think.

Most record shops any place in the world are a rip off unless your in some 3rd world country that has obscure markets etc... So most places will be as good as you have already seen or worse.

Does anyone know if the Modern Invasion store is still active? used to be run by Damon Bloodstorm, now of Cemetary Urn..

Damon was working at 'Extreme Aggression'(Modern Invasion shopfront?) for a while but that was a good 12yrs ago. Modern Invasion has no store now that i know of but they still distribute within Oz._________________Good Traders : NWN, Deathlord, Horrificus, VK666,

Yeah i guess that was it. I was studying in Melbourne way back in the mid 1990s so not surprising its not there now. i remember another shop called Smoke Dreams, diagonally opposite the train station and they sold a pretty good selection of metal CDs, shirts and weed!
